Dear White Rose Reader,

Please take pity on our unpaid, starving artist contributors and drop a few ISK into our Tip Jar.

At the end of each month, we'll divide the pool according to number of monthly contributions among our contributing corporate staff and the good folks syndicating with The White Rose -- no tips to management!

To donate, just search for me, the official White Rose Tip Jar Holder, "Esther Maria Pintado" -- with my nice long name, a search for "Esther Maria" will do -- using the in-game People and Places character search. Then send what ISK you can spare, with "Tip" or "Tip Jar" entered in the Reason field.

That's it. Very simple.

We don't expect to get rich, but every bit will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Esther Maria Pintado
White Rose Tip Jar Holder

News for the Casual, Peace-loving New Eden Voyager

As for myself, a proud veteran of that obscure Icelandic creation OZ Virtual, I've always much preferred to dwell in virtual realities than to play MMO games.

By "play," I mean adopting a competitive game spirit; racing through missions, levels, quests, instances, gear, arenas, tournaments, what have you; seeking to "win" or otherwise "finish" the MMO game, be it PVE, played against the environment, or PVP, played against all other players doing the same.

By "dwell," I mean much more than traditional roleplay. Dwelling includes everything from just hanging out chatting, to crafting and trading, exploring new territories (especially ones one has no safe right to be), creating unusual ensembles and showing them off -- virtual clotheshorse that I am -- to just idly dreaming before the screen.
